SO. MY PURCON SUMMARY :D I vlogged extensively and I’ll edit it together soon but for now, the text version.
First let me say this: A16, take the backburner. Sorry but... this? SWOON.
In the vein of my A14 write up, (here x) I’mma do a list of my top moments, but in no specific order this time lol
Being at a convention in a foreign country! I speak very little German but it was SO COOL when people came up to us and started talking in German and I actually got the meaning and was able to reply? (albeit it with like.. ‘Ja’ lmao) I’m so grateful for those who took the time to understand our (particularly my fast-paced..) English :’D
Hanging out with my friends again, in a foreign country! Us all booking Purcon happened very quickly, and I’m so immensely glad we did. I love my small corner of the SPN Family so very, very much
The guests were all so happy! Watching Mark taking photo ops was a joy – he was smiling and hugging everyone and awwwwww. The panels were great, particularly Mark and Misha’s, and watching Tamoh getting all hyped up doing the auction was AMAZING, one of the funniest moments of the weekend. In general the atmosphere was really chilled and nice (esp compared to A16) and allowed for a much nicer time overall.
Cocktails with Castiel!!!!! I was hyper before he even got into the room lmao. Then he told us he was gonna date all of us. Very much approved. We were the second table he got round to – I was standing like a millimetre from him thanks to @autumnpsyche graciously letting me, and yes I used the opportunity to get in a few sneaky hand brushes ;D (who wouldn’t?!) We talked about the clusterfuck (#clusterfuck) that was A16 – here’s a conversation I had with him…
Me: Jared and Jensen looked pretty floored the entire weekend :\
Misha: Well, you know, they always look terrible, but especially when combined with jet lag.
Me: But you look great!
Misha: *laughing and making grand hand gestures* WELL I KNOW RIGHT? *takes a moment to compose himself*
I felt v proud :’D And then he went to shake my hand when it was time for him to leave, but instead he hi-fived me and I basically died and went to heaven and that was my weekend already made.
Me and Becky also talked to his manager Julie, who had dropped by our conga coffee lounge last year, and got some inside scoops on things like Rogue. Was cool! Here’s a scribbling we did whilst Misha was at all the other tables xD
(JCB is Misha’s handler/maybe manager :D)
Okay so I have a dream to sing with Jensen. But Jason is much more accessible and has a voice I absolutely ADORE, so!!! I bought an autograph, and luckily (for me) there was nobody there when I got to the autos so I asked if I could sing with him, and he agreed, and the handler agreed to video it!! So you’ll see that soon :D Loved doing that
Misha’s autograph. Oh man you guys.
So the conga. Y’all remember it? Here’s a link to a refresher if not. It was incredible, me and my friends (some of whom I met at that coffee lounge!!!) talk about it all the time even a year on. Well @wurmstache made a t-shirt for it, and we thought we would give Misha one because, y’know, he’s the entire reason it was able to happen. So me, @rambleonassbutt and Becky went to the autos together. Me and Sarah got our stuff signed, and then Becky explained about the shirt and we all gushed to Misha about everything the conga coffee lounge did for our lives. And then he did this.
We were all extremely emotionally compromised. We thought he was just gonna sign it, but then he just kept writing and we all got progressively weepier. I’m so, so grateful to you Misha.
There’s another thing we did involving the conga which y’all will find out about very soon ;D
So the elevators at the Hilon work thus: you get in, swipe your card and then press your floor. We didn’t realise this. Got into the elevator, pressed our floor number… and kept going up. To floor 11.
And then the door opened and Tim Omundsson was standing there.
HAHAHAA.
I wish I could have seen the looks on our faces.
We wandered into Dusseldorf a tiny bit to go get breakfast, and oh my god guys, the pastries. They were incredible. I want a German bakery in my town. Plus I bought a tonne of kinder Bueno and Milka. Mmmmmmmmm.
Singing Fare Thee Well in the lobby whilst walking backwards and waving to my friends as we left the Hilton to go back to the airport xD I can’t remember who suggested it but it was fun haha
Going back to Julie the badass manager - she laid down the LAW when it came to organisation. Things could have gone very badly but with her help, it all ended up smooth as you like. Thank you Julie <3
Actually staying in the Hilton! Super convenient, super plush, INCREDIBLY comfy beds.
The merch stalls were all REALLY GOOD. My new hoodie I’m showing off in my photo ops is my new favourite thing :D
I asked Misha a question! But the best thing about it was getting to have that ‘question asking’ view of the panel for once. :)
And finally... karaoke! It’s always been my dream to get up and sing on stage for lots of people so to be able to do it with my SPN family was a dream come true! I was really, really worried I wouldn’t get chosen (didn’t last week at Asylum; so it goes), so when I did and my friends cheered it was like… AAAAHHHH. And they all came up with me to sing and dance and everyone cheered when I started singing and Osric filmed the entire thing on my camera and thanked me, and Tim Omundsson both privately shook my hand and congratulated me and then shouted out ‘SHE CAN FUCKING SING’ to the crowd???
I. Uhhh. Was extremely emotionally compromised and may have spent the rest of the evening singing my throat dead and going for a run around the Hilton with Nat and Maggie.Good fuckin times, man.
Here’s the video again :D
Oh and then there was the post-karaoke brioche
So overall I had a convention that rivalled A14, definitely beat it in terms of organisation. THANK YOU to everyone who made it possible <3
The blanket’s getting a little cramped now, but it’s not like I’m complaining
(A13 autographs are in white, A14 in cream, and A15 in light blue)
[More Asylum 15]
There are some hilarities from blanket signing under the cut :D
Briana Who signed the penis?
Me Misha, and also Matt Cohen
Briana It’s like a race to sign Jared’s penis
Briana Okay... I’m gonna sign his face... [thankfully she didn’t do this]
Briana So you’re a big Jared fan, hey? [she’s so Canadian jesus christ]
Me Yeah, Jensen’s on the other side but Jared’s my fave
Briana Jared’s your favourite?
Me Yeah
Briana Copy that, I have some good stories for you, save ‘em for next time
Me Save ‘em for coffee lounge!
Briana You bet! [she is precious]
Adam Ohh yeeeessssss! [Adam loves this blanket: see Asylum 13]
Adam Do we need to take another picture with this? [we took a selfie, he PUT IT IN HIS ASYLUM VLOG, I also made a post about it]
Adam Thanks for bringing it around again!
Osric Jared’s body...
Me Jared’s body
Osric Where’s this from?
Me I got it on Etsy
Osric When did he do this...? [Osric it’s not real babe]
Osric I’m gonna sign where his peen would be [yes, he said peen]
Kim THAT'LL KEEP YOU WARM [her voice when she said this literally still gives me shivers]
Kim That's hilarious
Chad Yes, nice, very cool, yes [pretty sure Chad is high 100% of the time]
Chad Woah, this is a first
Chad Nice
Me Thank you
Chad Thank you, appreciate it [okay then Chad]
Jewel Hi Danii! [she wrote “hot stuff” but I didn’t even notice because Kim was at the next table and I was paying attention to her, I’m an awful person]
Tyler Oh yeaahhhhh, oh woooow
Tyler Wow, can’t take my eyes off him... I’ll go uh... I’ll go like right here in his pelvic bone
Me Go for it
Tyler What is this?! Is that pubic hair?! ANYWAY
Kathryn Oh jeez... OH, MY GOD... that is, okay taking a picture, this is too good [she took a picture, she hasn’t posted it yet]
Kathryn I’m gonna act like I don’t know it’s there like it’s just a white blank page, that’s so funny
Kathryn Oh my god, want me to sign this side too?
Me You can! I don’t know if you’re... allowed
Steward I’m not saying anything
Kathryn Okay I’ll just... *signs* so funny [so Kathryn somehow managed to sign both sides I DON’T EVEN KNOW]
Mark Ohhhhh, he’s not wearing any shorts! [Mark you’re so old and cute]
Me He’s not
Mark He’s not wearing undies... or is he? No he’s under a blanket... those are his... that’s his leg
Mark Did he do this while he was doing Supernatural? [he literally thought Jared posed for this]
Me This isn’t a real photo
Mark What? Oh, it’s not? Like it’s made up legs, like it’s all kinda pieced together?
Flash What?! [if you’ve been to an Asylum convention you know who Flash is]
Me You can sign it if you want [he didn’t :(]
Flash Is it a towel?
Me It’s a blanket
Flash Oh, if it was a towel you’d need a dry sense of humour to sign it [fuck you and your puns]
... and Briana was so excited when I showed the photo to her, and she paid so much attention to detail, like, analysing the picture to make sure she got it right, and she was perfect
... And then it kind of exploded my entire internet on Saturday night
I tweeted it at Briana, and she fucking quoted it
And then in the autograph room she was so precious, she said “hi cutie” (help me) and then “oh yeah I saw this picture online, I love it, I showed it to my husband he laughed so hard” SHE SHOWED IT TO HER FUCKING HUSBAND
So basically Briana Buckmaster is the sweetest angelface in the world and I fucking adore her
